Matter
The 3 states of matter.
Definition of heat.
Transfer of energy
Definition of thermal energy.
Total amount of energy
Definition of temperature.
measurement of thermal energy.
Most commonly used temperature scale in USA.
Fahrenheit
Vibrate
Hot to cold.
Two things thermal energy depends on.
Mass and Kinetic Energy (movement and amount)
Device used to measure temperature.
Thermometer
Definition of Absolute Zero
lowest temperature possible
Definition of Kinetic Energy
Energy of Motion
which has more thermal energy: solid or liquid? and why?
liquid, more kinetic energy of particles
Relationship between thermal energy and amount of molecules.
Thermal energy increase, amount of energy increase
Celsius, Kelvin and Fahrenheit
Freezing point of water in C or F
0 C and 32 F
Matter changes states of matter when _______ is absorbed.
Heat or Thermal Energy
which has more thermal energy: glacier or campfire? and why?
glacier, more mass
Relationship between thermal energy and kinetic energy
Thermal energy increase, kinetic energy increase
Definition of Specific Heat
amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of an object by 1 degree Celsius.
Boiling Point of Water in C or F
100 C and 212 F
Definition of Thermal Expansion
when particles spread out as the thermal energy of matter increases
What heat does, but thermal energy does not.
Transfer
Relationship between kinetic energy, thermal energy and temperature.
Kinetic energy increase, Temperature increase, Thermal energy increase
What a material with a high specific heat can do & how it affects temperature.
Absorb a lot of heat energy without a great difference in temperature
Absolute Zero in C or K
-273 °C or 0 K
